Jungle Animals word search puzzle with colorful animal illustrations.

To solve this "Jungle Animals" word search, we need to find the hidden words from the list inside the grid of letters. The words can be horizontal (left-to-right), vertical (top-to-bottom), or diagonal.

Here is the step-by-step location for each animal:

1. ELEPHANT: Found in the 1st row, starting at the 2nd letter and going across to the right.
*(Row 1: Q E L E P H A N T S Q U J)*

2. HIPPO: Found in the 2nd row, near the end, going across to the right.
*(Row 2: C W J Y K L G U H I P P O)*

3. GORILLA: Found in the 3rd row, starting at the 5th letter and going across to the right.
*(Row 3: G C R O G O R I L L A M)*

4. TIGER: Found in the 5th row, in the middle, going across to the right.
*(Row 5: R O L X N L T I G E R H G)*

5. SNAKE: Found in the 6th row, starting at the 3rd letter and going across to the right.
*(Row 6: A C S N A K E K W K H R Z N)* — *Note: In the image, the letters are S-E-K-N-A... wait, let me look closer at Row 6: A C I N S E K...* Actually, looking at the grid provided in the prompt's text representation vs standard puzzles:
Let's re-read Row 6 carefully from the image logic: `A C I N S E K...`
Ah, looking at Column 3 vertically downwards:
Col 3 starts: L, J, R, B, X, I, X, O, Y, B, N, Z. No.
Let's look for SNAKE again.
Row 6 is: `A C I N S E K W K H R Z N`. It spells `INSEK`. That's not Snake.
Let's check Diagonals or other rows.
Row 7: `F O O X N O J L W J H E T`
Row 8: `F D N O A P C G O I I B U`
Row 9: `E I F Y K A B I Z X N R H`
Row 10: `Q L A B E R C A M F O A Z`
Row 11: `Q E O N Z D X M O N K E Y` -> MONKEY is here at the end.

Let's re-evaluate SNAKE.
Look at Row 6 again: `A C I N S E K`. Wait, usually these puzzles spell it forward.
Let's look at Column 11 (the one with H, P, A, E, R, K...).
Let's look at CROCODILE.
Row 3 starts with `G C R O`. If we go down Column 2?
Col 2: E, W, C, R, O, C, O, D, I, L, E.
Yes! CROCODILE is in Column 2, reading vertically from Row 3 down to Row 11.
*(Col 2: ... C R O C O D I L E)*

Now back to SNAKE.
We have found: Elephant, Hippo, Gorilla, Tiger, Monkey, Crocodile.
Remaining: Giraffe, Leopard, Rhinoceros (Rhino), Lion, Zebra, Snake.

Let's find GIRAFFE.
Look at Column 1: Q, C, G, I, R, A, F, F, E...
Yes! GIRAFFE is in Column 1, reading vertically from Row 3 down to Row 9.
*(Col 1: ... G I R A F F E ...)*

Let's find LION.
Look at Row 4: `I R B F V Y P P G A I E Q`.
Look at Row 5: `R O L X N L T I G E R H G`.
Look at Column 6?
Let's check Row 8: `F D N O A P C G O I I B U`.
Let's check Diagonal.
Start at Row 4, Col 11 (I). Go down-left?
Let's look at LEOPARD.
Row 10: `Q L A B E R C A M F O A Z`.
Col 2 has Crocodile.
Let's look at ZEBRA.
Row 11 ends in `MONKEY`. Before that `X`. Before that `D`.
Row 10 ends in `O A Z`.
Row 9 ends in `N R H`.
Row 8 ends in `I B U`.

Let's look at RHINO.
Row 9: `... Z X N R H`. Backwards? No.

Let's restart the scan for the remaining tricky ones: Snake, Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Zebra.

SNAKE:
Look at Row 6: `A C I N S E K`.
Look at Row 7: `F O O X N O J`.
Look at Column 5?
Col 5: P, K, E, V, N, S, N, A, K, E, Z.
Rows 1-11, Col 5:
1: P
2: K
3: E
4: V
5: N
6: S
7: N
8: A
9: K
10: E
11: Z
Wait, Row 6 Col 5 is 'S'. Row 7 Col 5 is 'N'. Row 8 Col 5 is 'A'. Row 9 Col 5 is 'K'. Row 10 Col 5 is 'E'.
So SNAKE is in Column 5, reading vertically from Row 6 to Row 10.
*(Col 5: ... S N A K E)*

LION:
Look at Row 4: `I R B F V Y P P G A I E Q`.
Look at Row 5: `R O L X N L T I G E R H G`.
Look at Column 6?
Col 6: H, L, G, Y, L, E, O, P, A, R, D.
Let's check Column 6 vertically from Row 2 to Row 11:
2: L
3: G
4: Y
5: L
6: E
7: O
8: P
9: A
10: R
11: D
That spells LGYLEOPARD. So LEOPARD is in Column 6, reading vertically from Row 5 to Row 11?
Let's check letters:
Row 5 Col 6: L
Row 6 Col 6: E
Row 7 Col 6: O
Row 8 Col 6: P
Row 9 Col 6: A
Row 10 Col 6: R
Row 11 Col 6: D
Yes! LEOPARD is in Column 6, vertically, Rows 5–11.

Now we have found Leopard.
Remaining: Lion, Rhino, Zebra.

LION:
Look at Row 4 again. `... G A I E Q`.
Look at Row 5. `... T I G E R`.

Let's look at ZEBRA.
Row 10 ends in `O A Z`.
Row 11 ends in `M O N K E Y`.

Wait, I missed LION in the diagonal or backwards?
Let's check Row 4 again: `I R B F V Y P P G A I E Q`.
